Chapter 80 - I will take responsibility for you!
For a proud elf like Ryu, this could be considered the most serious slander!
"What do you mean!!" Ryu naturally clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, but she still couldn't break free from the confusion in her heart.
"If you think you can resolve everything with a simple 'accident,' then you can leave and just pretend nothing happened. After all, you are a member of the famous Astraea Familia of Orario, while I am just a rookie level 1 Adventurer. Everyone will only believe you!"
"Enough!"
Ryu, who had completely erupted, raised her head and, with a loud shout and reddened eyes, stopped Noah from continuing.
"I will take responsibility for you!!"
....
Without a doubt, this was a bold declaration, akin to a confession. Normally, Ryu was certain that after saying such a thing, she would immediately faint or run around like an idiot. But at this moment, she felt no hesitation or doubt, only determination!
This unwavering determination didn't come from the fragrance on her body, but from the deepest sense of mission within her heart. That's right, a sense of mission! A sense of mission to protect the women of Orario, and indeed all pure women in the world, from his person.
Although they had only met a few times, Ryu had already confirmed that Noah was far too dangerous for women. Noah may not have had any intent, but his very existence was a threat to female chastity! Whether it was his hair, his eyes, his valiant figure in battle, or his endearing sleeping face, especially that comforting fragrance...
Good heavens! How can something exist in this world that is filled with advantages, seemingly designed specifically to capture women! That's too dangerous!
If this guy were left out, he would definitely attract a lot of women... No, he was already a danger in the Loki Familia, which had many female members! Even l Lady Riveria might be captured and defiled by him! Even if Noah hadn't made a move on women now, could he guarantee he wouldn't in the future?
Therefore, in order to protect the women of this world, I, Ryu, must step forward without fear of sacrifice! This was a quality of being an elf, and also a responsibility bestowed upon me by the Astraea Familia...
While Noah was still reeling from the blonde elf's sudden and provocative answer, he was almost too shocked to understand when he saw Ryu's resolute and fearless expression, as if light were shining down on her.
Huh? What happened? Why does she suddenly look like she's ready to sacrifice herself for world peace?
He felt that when he fought the Demon King, his momentum wasn't this strong.
"Take responsibility? How are you going to take responsibility? Go back to your Familia and marry me?"
Noah thought that if the elf gave a positive answer, he would simply reply, 'I saved you, you saw me naked, and now you want to marry me? You get all the good things in the end!'
What a joke! Noah was very confident in himself! If he was somewhat malnourished before, after receiving the Falna and treatment from Airmid, and after these days of exercise, he was now almost perfect from head to toe! Noah believed that while some women might dislike his type, no woman could possibly say he was bad! Even disregarding his qualifications, just based on his cooking skills and appearance, he was a handsome man!
However, the elf, who had just been brave and fearless, blushed instantly upon hearing about marriage. Not only did circles appear in her eyes, but steam sprayed from her head, literally creating white mist.
"Get married? How can that be! Of course, I should return to my homeland with you, cleanse our bodies under the moon, and make a vow before the Great Tree before we can get married. Before that, we shouldn't even hold hands..."
Noah was too lazy to even comment on Ryu's pathetic state, where she had just been so righteous, only to have her defenses easily broken. Because he had more to complain about...
"Is this some kind of antique view of love from some fairy tale?"
Okay, Noah admitted his previous understanding was wrong. This was hardly an open minded elf... she was clearly an extremely conservative elf! Almost instantly, Noah decided to stop teasing her.
I can't afford to mess with this kind of woman.
"Huh?!"
Ryu almost glanced around to see if any of her fellow Familia members were hiding in the shadows, laughing.
A conspiracy! It must be Kaguya and Noah teaming up to play a trick on me! Otherwise, how would Noah know the evaluations my companions gave me back then?
However, Ryu didn't find any other girls from the Astraea Familia. Come to think of it, today was the first time Ryu had met Noah since they parted ways in the Dungeon, and it should be the same for the other girls. Even if Alise was clueless, she wouldn't stoop to teaming up with a complete stranger to play tricks on her.
So, Ryu could only look at Noah again. Then she noticed a hint of evasion and guilt in his eyes.
